Vanessa Carlton - White Houses lyrics

Album: Harmonium (2004)

Crashed on the floor when I moved in
This little bungalow with some strange new friends
Stay up too late, & I am too thin
We promise each other it is til the end
Now we are spinning empty bottles
It is the five of us
With pretty eyed boys girls die to trust
I cannot resist the day
No, I cannot resist the day

Jenny screams out & it is no pose
´Cause when she dances she goes & goes
Beer through the nose on an inside joke
I am so excited, I´ven´t spoken
And she has so pretty, & she has so sure
Maybe I am more clever than a girl like her
The summer´s all in bloom
The summer is ending soon

It is alright & it is nice not to be so alone
But I hold on to your secrets in white houses

Maybe I am a little bit over my head
I come undone at the things he said
And he has so funny in his bright red shirt
We were all in love & we all got hurt
I sneak into his car´s cracked leather seat
The smell of gasoline in the summer heat
Boy, we are going way too fast
It is all too sweet to last

It is alright
And I put myself in his hands
But I hold on to your secrets in white houses
Love, or smth ignites in my veins
And I pray it never fades in white houses

My 1st time, hard to explain
Rush of blood, oh, & a little bit of pain
On a cloudy day, it is more common than you think
He has my 1st mistake

Maybe you were all faster than me
We gave each other up so easily
These silly little wounds will never mend
I feel so far from where I have been
So I go, & I´ll not be back here again
I am gone as the day´s fading on white houses
I lie, put my injuries all in the dust
In my heart´s the five of us
In white houses

And you, maybe you will remember me
What I gave is yours to keep
In white houses
In white houses
In white houses
